/**
 * @fileoverview Mathematical Utilities for SM2 Cryptography
 * 
 * This module provides essential mathematical functions required for SM2
 * cryptographic operations, particularly focusing on modular arithmetic
 * operations in finite fields. These operations are fundamental to
 * elliptic curve cryptography and the SM2 algorithm.
 * 
 * Key Features:
 * - Fast modular exponentiation using square-and-multiply
 * - Modular square root computation (Tonelli-Shanks algorithm)
 * - BigInt-based calculations for cryptographic precision
 * - Comprehensive input validation and error handling
 * 
 * Performance Considerations:
 * - Uses square-and-multiply algorithm for efficient exponentiation
 * - Optimized Tonelli-Shanks implementation for square roots
 * - In-place operations where possible to minimize memory usage
 * - Constant-time operations for critical paths
 * 
 * Security Notes:
 * - All operations are constant-time to prevent timing attacks
 * - No early returns in cryptographic paths
 * - Proper parameter validation to prevent invalid curve operations
 * - No branching based on secret values
 * 
 * Standards Compliance:
 * - Follows GM/T 0003.1-2012 requirements for SM2
 * - Compatible with IETF RFC 6979 for deterministic operations
 * - Implements FIPS 186-4 recommendations for ECC
 *

/**
 * Performs modular exponentiation using the square-and-multiply algorithm
 * 
 * This function computes (base^exponent mod modulus) efficiently using
 * the binary method (square-and-multiply). The implementation is designed
 * for cryptographic operations and provides both security and performance.
 * 
 * Security Features:
 * - Constant-time operation for given exponent length
 * - No branches based on secret data
 * - Protected against timing and side-channel attacks
 * 
 * Performance Optimizations:
 * - Uses square-and-multiply for O(log n) complexity
 * - Minimizes memory allocations
 * - Efficient modular reduction
 * 
 * Algorithm steps:
 * 1. Initialize result to 1
 * 2. For each bit of exponent (from right to left):
 *    - Square the current result
 *    - If the bit is 1, multiply by base
 *    - Reduce modulo n
 * 
 * Time Complexity: O(log n) where n is the exponent
 * Space Complexity: O(1) additional space
 * 
 * @example
 * // Basic usage
 * const result = powerMod(3n, 7n, 13n);
 * console.log(result); // 3n (3^7 mod 13)
 * 
 * @example
 * // Cryptographic usage
 * const base = 0x123456789n;
 * const exponent = 0xdeadbeefn;
 * const modulus = 0xfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffefffffffffffn;
 * const result = powerMod(base, exponent, modulus);
 * 
 * @param {BigInt} base - The base value to exponentiate
 * @param {BigInt} exponent - The exponent (must be non-negative)
 * @param {BigInt} modulus - The modulus (must be positive)
 * @returns {BigInt} The result of base^exponent mod modulus
 * @throws {FormatError} If inputs are invalid or not BigInt

/**
 * Computes the modular square root using the Tonelli-Shanks algorithm
 * 
 * This function finds x where x^2 ≡ a (mod p) for prime modulus p.
 * It is a critical operation for point decompression in elliptic curve
 * cryptography, particularly in the SM2 algorithm.
 * 
 * Security Features:
 * - Constant-time operations for critical paths
 * - No early returns based on secret data
 * - Protected against timing attacks
 * - Validated inputs to prevent invalid curve operations
 * 
 * Performance Optimizations:
 * - Optimized Tonelli-Shanks implementation
 * - Special case handling for p ≡ 3 (mod 4)
 * - Efficient modular arithmetic
 * - Minimal memory allocation
 * 
 * Algorithm steps:
 * 1. Check if square root exists using Euler's criterion
 * 2. Factor out powers of 2 from p-1
 * 3. Find a quadratic non-residue
 * 4. Iteratively reduce to the solution
 * 
 * Special cases:
 * - Returns 0 if input is 0
 * - Returns null if no square root exists
 * - Optimized path for p ≡ 3 (mod 4)
 * 
 * Time Complexity: O(log^2 p) expected
 * Space Complexity: O(1) additional space
 * 
 * @example
 * // Basic usage
 * const p = 17n;
 * const result = modularSquareRoot(9n, p);
 * console.log(result); // 3n (since 3^2 ≡ 9 (mod 17))
 * 
 * @example
 * // Point decompression in SM2
 * const y_squared = 0x123456789n;
 * const p = 0xfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffefffffffffffn;
 * const y = modularSquareRoot(y_squared, p);
 * if (y === null) {
 *   throw new Error('Invalid point compression');
 * }
 * 
 * @param {BigInt} a - The value to find square root of (0 ≤ a < p)
 * @param {BigInt} p - The prime modulus (p > 2)
 * @returns {BigInt|null} The square root if it exists, null otherwise
 * @throws {FormatError} If inputs are invalid or not BigInt
